I currently use LUBUNTU, wanted to try XUBUNTU.
But I'm not sure if XUBUNTU allowes window tiling like LUBUNTU does, example:
- 2-tiling (left half, right half)
- 4-tiling (left-top, left-down, right-top, right-down)
- combination of half and quarter (left-half and rigth-top, right-down, etc.)
In LUBUNTU there is a file
~/.config/openbox/lxqt-rc.xml
where ic can specify a key binding which result in the desired window tiling, example:
<!-- Lubuntu specific. Keybindings for window tiling -->
<!-- # HalfLeftScreen -->
<keybind key="C-W-Left">
<action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
<action name="MoveResizeTo">
<x>0</x>
<y>0</y>
<height>100%</height>
<width>50%</width>
</action>
</keybind>
<!-- # HalfLeftUpperScreen -->
<keybind key="C-Left">
<action name="UnmaximizeFull"/>
<action name="MoveResizeTo">
<x>0</x>
<y>0</y>
<width>50%</width>
<height>50%</height>
</action>
</keybind>
...
and so on.
This is a nice way and it comes out of the box in LUBUNTU.
Is there a similar way to tile windows in XUBUNTU?
How does window tiling in fact works in XUBUNTU?
I need that 4- and 2- tiling to better work on the display.

Hello and welcome.
Yes, Xfce supports a similar type of window tiling. To enable it, make sure that Settings Manager > Window Manager Tweaks > Accessibility tab > "Automatically tile windows...." is selected.
To set keyboard shortcuts, go to Settings Manager > Window Manager > Keyboard tab, and set the desired keyboard shortcuts for the "Tile window to the ..." events.

Hi, little bit of necromancy, but this thread still shows up pretty high in search results about options for windows tiling on Xubuntu.
I missed a functionality like Windows FancyZones or Kubuntu KZones on Xubuntu, so I've created Xutiles, a windows tiling helper for Xubuntu: GitHub - edison23/xutiles: Window tiling for X
